Info

Quintaesencia is one of the most well-known book series from Ariel Publishing House since its launching in 2012. 

Each book consists of a selected text from classic non-fiction literature accompanied and curated by established thinkers from our time.

There is always something useful to learn from the classics. After all, human concerns have always been the same. Ariel Quintaesencia let us connect with our past in order to face our present. 

The initial collection design was starting to suffer the test of time. So I was commissioned to redesign it, in the hunt for a more modern style that let each book shine on its own merit.

Here are the already published books from a collection that is still growing.
